Want It ALI.

There are some men in this world who
would not be satisfied if the whole earth
was given them, but who would want to
reach up and slice off piece of the sky
for good measure. This fact has perhaps
been about as plainly impressed
upon the commission charged with
the location of the colored
deaf and dumb asylum as it we'll could be.
1t is fortunate, though, for the interests Of
the state that the gentlemen comprising
the board of commissioners are all Austin
men, and are thoroughly acquainted with
the values of property offered. 1t is a
generally grounded idea that state,
county, municipality or corporation, pub
lie or private, was created to
be ''stuck" in every bargain wherein they
take hand. This evidently is the case at
all events in the matter of the colored
asylum. The commissioners, as was stated
yesterday, have been examining number
of pieces of property. Among them is one
place which, few years ago, was pur-
chased for $4,000, and on which may be
half a thousand in Improvements
has since been expended. The modest
price of $4,000 was put upon it when Of
fered to the commissioners. The price
was pronounced by those gentlemen to be
too steep, and it is said that the would-be
seller is now kicking harder than an Aus
train musket because there is probability
of the asylum being located in the neigh
borhood of his residence.
Another very desirable tract
of land, owned by two parties, has been
looked at. Both parties have been offer.
ing their lots for sale for some time past
one wanting $1,000 for his three and half
acres, the other $500 for his eight acres
When put into the commission, the three
and half acre man stuck to his price
$1,000, but, ye gods and little
fishes! the eight. acre fellow jumped
his price to $4,000. He
doesn't live in Austin, and perhaps isn't
aware that Messrs. Fillmore, Brown and
Shelly are gentlemen of intelligence, and
have passed the period when they can be
pIucked as suckers. Meanwhile the work
of examining sites is going on steadily.

Hunnbug.

Barnum said "the American people like
to be humbugged." This may be true
in the line of entertainment, but not
where life is at stake. A man with con-
sumption, or any lingering disease, look
ing death in the face and seeking to evade
his awful grasp, does not like to be trifled
with. So with confidence we place before
our readers natures great remedy, DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical discovery, sure
relief for that long train of diseases re-
sulting from impure blood, such as Con-
sumption, Chronic Nasal Catarrh, Liver
Complaint, Kidney Disorder, Dyspepsia,
Sick Headache, Scrofula and General
Debility. Time-tried and thoroughly
tested, it stands without an equal. Any
druggist.

Another Arrest.

News was received Friday that
Deputy United States Marshal Bell had
arrested, at or near Luling, one Charles
Buckley, on a charge of completely in the
McNeill train robbery. Mr.. Bell will
arrive in the city with his prisoner this
morning. This is the man who was
wanted in San Antonio several days since,
and whose disappearance came near caus-
ing rupture between Sheriff Lewis, of
Bexar, and the United States officials.
The officers are still reticent as to their
movements, and refuse to either confirm
or contradict the many sensational stories

A Quick Recovery.

Itgives us great pleasure to state that
the merchant who was reported being at
the point of death from an attack Of
pneumonia, has entirely recovered by the
use of DR.. VIM. HALLS BALSAM FOR
THE LUNGS. Naturally, he feels CRATE
full for the benefits derived from using
this remedy for the lungs and throat;
and, in giving publicity to this statement,
we are actuated by motives of public
benefaotion, trusting that others may be
benefited in similar manner.

A father rushed before an approaching
train at Chicago to seize his child playing
between the tracks. A half second was
left him to decide between two lives, and
he saved the child by throwing forward
the upper part of his body and leaving
his legs to be crushed under the wheels,
giving his life to save the other. The
man who thus rose to the heights of
heroic self-sacrifice, as natural impulse,
was only poor track hand, but he has
helped to teach a high lesson.

"Not Bulk, But Business !"

Is the way western man put it in ex'
pressing to friend his complete satisfac
ton in the use of DR.. Pierces Pleasant
Purgative Pellets. So small and yet SC
effectual, they bid fair to supplant entire
ly the old-style pill. An ever-ready
remedy for sick and bilious headache
biliousness, constipation and all blood
disorders. Mild in action, wonderful in
effect. Put up in walls convenient to
carry. Their use attended with no dis
comfort. These sterling merits account
for their great popularity.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1887-06-02
An Undoubted Blessing.

About thirty years ago, prominent
physician by the name of DR.. William
Hall discovered, or produced after long
experimental research, remedy for dis
eases of the throat, chest, and lungs,
which was of such wonderful efficacy that
it soon gained wide reputation in this
country. The name of the medicine Is
DR.. VIM. Halls Balsam for the Lungs, and
may be safely relied on as speedy and
positive cure for coughs, colds, sore
throat. etc.
